<p><strong>ABOUT A. LUJAN RECOVERY PROGRAM</strong></p> <p>A. Lujan Recovery Program in Fresno, Calif. provides <strong>safe, alcohol- and drug-free sober living environments for men</strong> involved in different levels of treatment. The program works with the drug court system and provides a wide array of services that blend <strong>12-Step with evidence-based practices</strong>. It is one of just <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA16.pdf" target="_blank">695 (48.6 percent)</a> centers in the state with gender-specific treatment programming for men.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The A. Lujan Recovery Program encourages residents to develop a new, sober way of living that fosters better health and a successful future. Clients live in a sober, <strong>supportive familial environment</strong> for a length of time that depends on each individual's needs. </p> <p>Life in the sober living program involves community-based support groups, spiritual resources, <strong>12-step meetings,</strong> and other self-help groups. Meeting attendance is monitored as a guideline of living in the home. There is also a program designed for <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/the-pain-of-addiction-in-the-family-how-counseling-can-help/" target="_blank">family members and friends</a> of residents. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Currently, A. Lujan Recovery Program's website provides no information regarding the training and experience of its staff team. However, each home is supervised by a "house parent" who has been in recovery for a significant period of time, oversees the homes, and receives training in the recovery field. </p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Each resident must <strong>adhere to house rules.</strong> Pictures on the facility's website show <strong>multiple homes with communal living rooms,</strong> backyards, and one with an outdoor pool. Residents are responsible for providing their own food and preparing meals and completing household chores. Clients can participate in group outings, fishing trips, sporting events, retreats, and recovery conventions. </p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>While Rehabs.com has yet to receive reviews from alumni of the facility, reviewers on secondary sites have provided <strong>mixed feedback at the time of this writing.</strong> On Google, three users produced two one-star ratings and one five-star rating.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> While the five-star reviewer left no feedback, one-star reviewer T.H. complained of strict rules and wrote: "The houses are too small, the floors too creaky, and the walls too thin for 10 or more people." The alum also noted the pool advertised was not part of the facility.</p> <p>To date on Yelp, four reviewers left an average rating of <strong>4.25 out of five stars.</strong><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> One alum, B.H., claimed the facility saved his life and wrote "not only are the houses clean the staff is very helpful and supportive in your recovery." However, similar to the Google alum, an alum on Yelp complained of strict rules, no pool as advertised, and a poor house manager. </p> <p>Contrastingly, three YellowPages.com reviewers all left perfect five-star ratings for this facility.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small> "Professional and dedicated staff," former client T.C. wrote, and A.G. added, "an amazing support a clean and sober enviroment." </p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The two reviews from loved ones on secondary sites as of this writing were highly mixed. On Yelp, T.M., whose nephew was in the facility, gave an overall rating of five out of five stars. "The entire experience has been a true blessing. We were all treated with compassion and professional," he wrote.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small></p> <p>However, the wife of a client, K.A., reported continued substance abuse within the facility on Google.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> Clients, she added, were not properly monitored by staff.</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>The single staff member surveyed by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing was highly critical of the facility, rating the overall quality of care and client privacy only two out of five stars. The staffer noted they had concerns regarding the standard of care and wrote the facility had "more interest in profit than care."</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>A one-time, non-refundable admission fee of $100 is due at the time of admission and a monthly living fee is due on the first of each month. Insurance is accepted, and the facility can verify coverage. </p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/iVFWYB" target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/a-lujan-sober-living-homes-fresno-4" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/a-lujan-sober-living-homes-fresno-4</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yellowpages.com/fresno-ca/mip/a-lujan-recovery-programs-483932224" target="_blank">https://www.yellowpages.com/fresno-ca/mip/a-lujan-recovery-programs-483932224</a></small></p>
